[...] Fish (without the salted vegetables aka kiam chye) – symbolise abundance (年年有余) – Ketchup Prawns – symbolise happiness (笑哈哈) – Broccoli with Scallops – symbolise richness [...]

We tried this with McDonald’s garlic chilli packet sauce (we collected uneaten ones), with a little bit of ketchup, Shaoxing wine and fry with garlic… tastes like Chilli Crab sauce!

YUM!

I also cook something similar to this, but no ketchup, more tomatoes (if tomatoes aren’t sweet, add a dash of granulated white or brown sugar), & I use garlic chili.
I substitute the prawns with either fried hard-boiled eggs (cut in half length-wise) or deep fried eggplant (deep fried with tempura batter & egg or you can just use the normal flour & egg batter).
The taste is more spicy & less tangy (because no ketchup) 8)

I just tried this recipe on Fri.
Gosh, it’s really nice and I think it tastes like Chilli Crab. Especially with the egg beaten in.
Thanks for the great recipe!

Tom Aarons: Thanks & welcome! :D

Katie: In Singapore, we tend to refer to shrimps as the smaller prawns. But I noticed that in the western countries, people refer to what we call ‘prawns’ as shrimps :?: -> confused look :P

WC: Thanks! Actually I wasn’t sure if ketchup counted as ‘tomato’ in the strictest sense, so I added tomato chunks :|

WORC: Thanks … you are so kind :-)
